The Draft Banquet, a short social cooking game for up to 15 players, is now available on darkmirrorgames.com as a Print and Play PDF.

In late 2017, we ran a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter to cover a small print run of the game. While the campaign was not successful, we decided to proceed with the digital PDF, which is now available online.

Combining strategy and chance, the Draft Banquet uses card drafting mechanics and features 105 sweet and savoury ingredient cards for use with potlucks, feasts and banquets - or simply...

We made it over east this year for Melbourne International Games Week (MIGW) - not a small achievement for a tiny indie outfit from Western Australia. At times we both felt a little overwhelmed.

We'll be fixing this for all print copies of Banishment as well, for both Kickstarter backers and new customers. Keep an eye on this space for further updates.

Our shipment of Banishment has arrived, and we're in the midst of shipping Kickstarter rewards out to all our backers. International backers are being given highest priority due to longer shipping times, but we expect to have sent them all out by the end of next week. Get ready!

In other news, our local Perth launch event is on tonight at Quenda Games. We'll be handing out copies to Kickstarter backers who arrive, and playing as many rounds of Banishment as we can.

Hope to see you all there!

Banishment stock is about to arrive, and we're celebrating with an official launch on Friday August 25. Local Kickstarter backers can come along to pick up their copy of the game before we mail them out, and all are welcome to come along for a friendly chat, play a few rounds of Banishment and have fun!
